Chapter 1014: Award Ceremony (Two-in-One)

In the audience, it was like a powder keg had been ignited, exploding with a “boom.”

The surge of sound on the field was enough to pierce the sky, and even those outside the venue could hear the almost frantic cheers from within.

“Ahhh! Champion! Champion!”

“Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!”

“Holy cow! After Yan Jiaoou’s Raging Flames was activated, its attack power was simply terrifying! I felt like I didn’t even blink, and it was over in an instant!”

“Me too! I thought Saw-Sound Dragon and Yan Jiaoou would continue to battle for a while after they both got up, but I didn’t expect it to end so quickly, and Saw-Sound Dragon was even suppressed the whole time.”

“It wasn’t completely suppressed, though. When Yan Jiaoou used Solar Impact, Saw-Sound Dragon also used Dragon Sound Burst. If it hadn’t used that Ultra-level skill, the final score would probably have been 3:1.”

“To be honest, Saw-Sound Dragon performed exceptionally well in this match. The first time it used Dragon Sound Burst, it needed the support of the Dragon Luck Field, but the second time it used it purely based on its own strength.”

“That’s right, Saw-Sound Dragon is truly terrifyingly strong. It was able to get back up even under such terrifying Lava Purgatory. However, Yan Jiaoou is equally terrifyingly strong…”

“As expected of the youngest B-level Beast Tamer in history… Qiao Sang isn’t even 18 yet, and she’s already become the champion of the Regional Competition. The prestige of this B-Grade Professional Pet Tamer title is simply incredible; it’s completely different from those Beast Tamers who were raised with resources from a young age.”

“The prestige of each Regional Competition champion is different. Qiao Sang defeated Yuan Tianlong, so I have no objection to calling her the strongest B-level Beast Tamer in the Central Sky region.”

“What Central Sky region? It’s the entire Dragon Kingdom, alright? The competition level of our Central Sky Regional Competition contestants is inherently higher than in other regions. Look, Yuan Tianlong won two other Regional Competitions, and now he’s still only gotten second place.”

“No, be more precise. It should be among all young B-level Beast Tamers. Don’t forget those veteran Beast Tamers; there are still many B-level Beast Tamers who are hundreds of years old, and some of their Pets have even reached the King-level.”

“I don’t care. In my heart, Qiao Sang is the strongest B-level.”

“Saw-Sound Dragon was able to defeat three King-level Pets in a row. By extension, Yan Jiaoou can also defeat three King-level Pets in a row. Terrifying, too terrifying…”

“More than that, Yan Jiaoou also wasted some energy on Evil Disaster Dragon earlier. Moreover, Saw-Sound Dragon defeating three King-level Pets was two years ago; its strength must be even greater now.”

“I used to be jealous that Qiao Sang contracted Qingyin Fairy. Now that I think about it, if I were Qingyin Fairy, I would definitely contract with Qiao Sang too. Where can you find such a young and powerful Yu Beast Master…”

“…I’ve been following the competition these past few days. If you didn’t mention Qingyin Fairy, I would have almost forgotten about it.”

“From now on, I am Qiao Sang’s loyal fan. I will follow her wherever she goes to compete.”

“I’m going to Yu Hua District tomorrow. Yan Jiaoou really makes my mouth water.”

“I’m already applying for an interstellar visa. When the time comes, I’ll go to Super Dormant Star to pick a Little Steel Falcon.”

“It’s a pity that Ice Emperor Ram is an endangered Pet. Otherwise, I’d really want to get one.”

“Ghost Ring King is also pretty good. Its rings can even store things. If my brain domain breaks through in the future and I can contract a new Pet, I’ll go to Yu Hua District to see Treasure Hunting Ghost.”

“Ah! Qiao Sang! Qiao Sang!” Wu Tianjiao jumped up, excitedly waving the cheering stick in her hand, like a rabid fan.

Qiao Sang defeated Yuan Tianlong and became the champion, so what did it matter that she lost to her!

She just lost to the champion!

Then she thought of something and got up to leave.

In the front rows, Yu Ke, Yu Le, and Rong Yuhua excitedly waved their cheering sticks.

Seeing this, Yu Ke smiled and said:

“You still say you’re not a fan of Qiao Shen.”

Rong Yuhua said while waving his cheering stick:

“You’re right, Qiao Sang is my idol now!”

Yuan Tianlong, that was Yuan Tianlong! Qiao Sang actually defeated Yuan Tianlong!

At this moment, Rong Yuhua felt that adding Qiao Sang’s contact information was simply the greatest gain from participating in this Regional Competition.

…

Yu Hua District.

Hanggang City.

Inside an office building.

She won, she actually won, Qiao Sang became the champion… Qiao Wangyang was in a trance.

The champion of the Regional Competition, such a distant existence, and his 17-year-old daughter had actually become such a figure…

Qiao Wangyang suddenly regretted how little he had contacted Qiao Sang in the past.

If they had maintained contact, they wouldn’t be unable to reach each other now, as if they lived in two different worlds.

Qiao Wangyang stared at the phone on the table for two seconds, finally unable to resist picking it up and dialing the number he had been trying to get through recently.

Soon, a familiar voice came:

“Sorry, the number you dialed is currently busy…”

…

At the same time.

VIP seats.

Ye Xiangting excitedly stood up, screaming Qiao Sang and Ya Bao’s names. Then she thought of something, took out her phone, turned on the video recording function, and recorded this exciting moment.

To be honest, she had heard of Yuan Tianlong’s great name. Even though she hoped her daughter could win, she didn’t actually have too much expectation for her daughter’s victory.

From her previous conversation with Qiao Sang, she could also see that her daughter wasn’t very confident about this competition.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t proud of her daughter, but she also clearly knew that her daughter was simply too, too young.

Not only was the opponent more than twice her daughter’s age, but they both had Dragon-type Pets and had won the Regional Competition twice. From any angle, the hope of victory was slim.

But she never expected Qiao Sang to win! And she did it by only sending out Lu Bao and Ya Bao!

“Wonderful! Qiao Sang! Ya Bao!” Liu Yao suddenly stood up, his composure gone, like a wild fan, passionately waving the cheering stick in his hand.

“Xian Xian!”

“Xian Xian!”

Tian Xian Bat held a cheering stick and also waved it passionately.

“A young genius,” Tao Coach said with emotion, looking at the figure under the spotlight on the field: “When I invited Qiao Sang to join the National Beast Appraiser Combat Team, I never thought she could win the championship from Yuan Tianlong.”

Then she thought of something, turned to talk to Qiao Sang’s mother, but saw her holding her phone, excitedly pointing it at the field, so she talked to Mi Jiala instead, across from her:

“When are you leaving?”

Mi Jiala thought for a moment and said:

“Probably tomorrow.”

Tao Coach was stunned for a moment, looking surprised:

“So soon? Where are you going next?”

Mi Jiala replied:

“Zhiya District.”

Tao Coach was stunned again. She didn’t ask why, but instead said: “Qiao Sang won the championship, so we must have a celebration banquet. Do you want to have dinner together tonight? My treat.”

Mi Jiala looked at the slender figure on the field and smiled:

“No need. Qiao Sang doesn’t like the atmosphere of celebration banquets, and she just finished the competition. I think she’d rather celebrate with Yan Jiaoou and the others than with us.”

“That’s right, that’s right,” Ye Xiangting echoed while holding her phone to record:

“Before, when Qiao Sang won the National Campus Pet Beast League championship, and also qualified as an Interstellar Exchange Student, and was admitted to Imperial Beast Academy, I wanted to throw a party and invite her to celebrate, but she wasn’t very willing. Maybe kids these days don’t like that kind of atmosphere.”

Tao Coach: “…”

Your bragging expression is almost written all over your face…

Amidst the cheers and screams of the crowd, Qiao Sang recalled Ya Bao into her yu beast codex.

…

Backstage.

The Staff embraced Qiao Sang, refused interviews from various media, and led her to the lounge.

“Miss Qiao, please rest here for a moment. The awards ceremony will be in twenty minutes, and then we’ll go up,” the Staff said respectfully.

Qiao Sang came to the sofa and sat down, nodding slightly: “I understand.”

The Staff did not leave immediately, looking as if they had something more to say.

“Is there anything else?” Qiao Sang asked.

The Staff’s face immediately turned red, and they bravely said: “Could you give me an autograph?”

Qiao Sang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

“Of course.”

The Staff quickly pulled out the pen they had prepared, excitedly pulled open their work uniform, and revealed the white shirt underneath:

“Just sign on my shirt.”

Qiao Sang picked up the pen and quickly signed her name with two “swish swish” sounds.

The Staff repeatedly thanked her and left with an excited expression.

Qiao Sang summoned Ya Bao and the others.

Lu Bao had already recovered some energy in the yu beast codex. Without a word, it immediately circulated its energy, causing the gem on its forehead to glow with a dark blue light, shining on itself and Ya Bao.

“Ya Ya!”

The dark blue light disappeared, and Ya Bao was immediately fully revived.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao floated around Ya Bao and Lu Bao, excitedly expressing its admiration for the wonderful match.

“Ice Emperor.”

Under Xiao Xunbao’s praise, Lu Bao’s expression remained unchanged, but its tail couldn’t help but wag twice.

“Ya Ya?”

Listening to Xiao Xunbao’s words, Ya Bao’s eyes sparkled. Then it looked at its Yu Beast Master, showing an expectant expression, and let out a questioning cry.

This work is organized and uploaded by 69shuba~~

Did we win the match?

Qiao Sang nodded and said:

“That’s right, Saw-Sound Dragon also fell and didn’t continue the next match.”

“Ya Ya!”

Ya Bao showed an excited expression and let out a cry.

Qiao Sang smiled and said:

“Get ready, you’re going up to receive the award soon.”

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao immediately understood, took off its ring, and pulled out pieces of equipment from inside.

Ya Bao skillfully put on its green triangular sunglasses.

Steel Treasure glanced at the lavender felt hat offered to it, obediently took it, and put it on.

“Ice Emperor,” Lu Bao said, indicating that it didn’t need any equipment.

Xiao Xunbao rummaged in the ring for a long time again and pulled out the old diamond gloves, handing them to Qing Bao.

“Qing Qing?”

Qing Bao was stunned for a moment, pointing to itself uncertainly.

Is this for me?

“Xiao Xunbao~”

Xiao Xunbao nodded, indicating that it used to wear this, but now it’s too big and the size is not suitable, so it’s just right for you.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao glanced at the dazzling diamond gloves and let out a cry, subtly refusing.

It didn’t participate much in the competition, so it wouldn’t go up for the awards ceremony.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sang said sternly:

“Who said you didn’t participate much in the competition? You also won a match. We are a team, and we should go up to receive the award together.”

Qing Bao looked at its Yu Beast Master, stunned for a moment.

“Xiao Xunbao~”

At this moment, Xiao Xunbao pushed the diamond gloves forward again.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao was silent for a moment, then changed its reason for refusing.

It would go up to receive the award, but it didn’t like being watched by too many people. These gloves were too beautiful, and if it wore them, many people would definitely look at it, so it still wouldn’t wear them.

“Xiao Xunbao…”

Xiao Xunbao remembered that Qing Bao indeed spent most of its time in Wind Transformation, so it no longer insisted, showing a regretful expression, and took the diamond gloves back.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao breathed a sigh of relief.

…

Twenty minutes later.

“Ladies and gentlemen, and all viewers watching the live broadcast!” The Host’s voice echoed throughout the venue: “Now, we are about to begin the awards ceremony for this Regional Competition!”

The entire venue erupted in enthusiastic cheers.

Under the Host’s individual introductions, the third and second place winners, Wu Tianjiao and Yuan Tianlong, appeared one by one to receive their awards.

All the lights suddenly dimmed, with only the cheering sticks and phone lights shining in the audience.

Countless points of light combined, like a sparkling galaxy filling the venue.

Finally, it was time to introduce the last contestant. The Host took a deep breath and said with a passionate voice:

“Next, we will present the championship of this Regional Competition! Audience friends! Are you ready! Please shout her name with me! Qiao Sang!!!”

“Qiao Sang!”

“Qiao Sang!”

The entire venue was shouting this name.

As the crowd screamed and cheered, the neon lights on the field suddenly flowed like a stream of stars.

The champion’s BGM began to play.

Immediately after, the field opened from the middle.

A bird-type Pet, over twenty meters tall, with feathers that shimmered with iridescent colors, suddenly rose directly from underground, stopping in mid-air. Standing on it were Qiao Sang and Ya Bao and the others.

The bird-type Pet with iridescent feathers flapped its wings, and countless brilliant specks of starlight instantly sprinkled down from the sky, looking extraordinarily magnificent, like a visual feast.

Flowing Color Primordial Bird, a King-level bird-type Pet, possesses an extremely magnificent appearance. Only those whose strength it recognizes are worthy of standing beside it. Its feathers will shine with different colors of light when illuminated from different angles. It is said that whoever can stand on it is an absolute monarch.

The people of the Central Sky region firmly believe this, so almost every Regional Competition allows the champion the honor of appearing on the Flowing Color Primordial Bird, which is also an appreciation and affirmation of the champion.

Ya Bao wore sunglasses and tilted its head slightly at a 45-degree angle.

Lu Bao stood quietly beside Ya Bao.

“Xiao Xunbao!”

“Xiao Xunbao!”

Xiao Xunbao, wearing a cape, enthusiastically waved its paws at the audience.

Steel Treasure, wearing a lavender felt hat, flapped its wings beside its Yu Beast Master.

“Qing Qing…”

Qing Bao was next to Xiao Xunbao, looking at the cheering and screaming audience around, seemingly a little awestruck by the scene.

The Yu Beast Master Chairman of the Central Sky region flew over on a bird-type Pet, landed on the Flowing Color Primordial Bird, and came to Qiao Sang’s side.

Immediately after, a golden trophy, a golden ring, and a Pet egg with purple patterns appeared out of thin air on a tray.

The Yu Beast Master Chairman of the Central Sky region picked up the golden trophy and handed it over with a smile:

“Congratulations on winning the championship. The match was very exciting.”

At the same time, the Host’s voice continued to resonate:

“Contestant Qiao Sang is the youngest contestant in this Regional Competition, and also the contestant who won the championship in her first Regional Competition. She truly deserves it. She may still be young, but she is formidable enough to stand above the rest.”

“The Yu Kong Cup, the dream of countless Professional Beast Tamers in the Central Sky region. Contestant Qiao Sang has obtained it at the age of 17. I believe that not only the Central Sky region, but the entire Dragon Kingdom will remember her.”

“Qiao Sang, winner of the 767th Central Sky Regional Competition.”

As the Host’s words fell, Qiao Sang took the Yu Kong Cup and held it high above her head.

The entire venue cheered.

All the flashlights flashed wildly at this moment.

(End of Part One)

No, what I meant yesterday was that the new volume would end with the Interstellar Cup, not that I would write about the Interstellar Cup immediately.
